Over 60,000 people turned out to celebrate Pride in the streets of Dublin yesterday.
Of course, amid the colour, laughter and love, there were a few ‘Down with this sort of thing’ signs.

However, one particular sign that read ‘Sodomy is sexual abuse’ was met with the perfect reaction by revellers – open displays of LOVE.
The following photos were shared by Farmer Browns on their Instagram stories:
And this was shared by Imgur user u/MidheLu with the caption:
‘Lots of people tried calmly talking to the lad with the sign including myself but he just wasn’t having it’
The irony of holding a sign with these words outside a Church is not lost on us, and we can’t think of a better way to react than what the couples in these photos did.
